BREAKING: Cole Walliser is setting the record straight. The director behind E!’s Glambot tells Entertainment Buzz that Jennifer Lopez was not rude in that Golden Globes moment. I spoke with him about the clip that sparked debate. He walked me through what really happened, second by second. 🎥

The Clip Everyone Saw, The Context You Did Not
Here is what actually went down. Lopez stepped into the Glambot zone with her team. Time was tight, like it always is on a major carpet. Walliser gave a simple cue. Look to camera. Hit the mark. Turn the shoulder. The robotic arm arced in for a dramatic sweep. The shot landed.
Publicists called time. Lopez moved to the next outlet. That is the job. Walliser notes that she was focused and professional the entire time. He thanked her. She acknowledged him and kept moving. The short edit that circulated trimmed off the setup and the wrap. Without those beats, a normal exchange looked cold. It was not.
He was clear with me. This was a clean take, not a clash. “There was no rudeness,” he explained, emphasizing her grace under pressure. In that lane, seconds matter. A clipped hello or a quick nod can seem sharp. On a carpet, it is standard.
A Glambot moment is a live, high speed ballet. It is not a lounge chat.
How a Glambot Shot Really Happens
The Glambot is a high speed robotic camera. It captures slow motion glamour that feels like a movie trailer. The move is preprogrammed. The star hits a mark. The arm races by, then the footage plays back in silky slow motion. It is fast and technical, but it looks effortless.
Here is the sequence Walliser described to me, the one crews live by:
- Talent arrives with handlers, often with less than 30 seconds.
- Walliser gives a fast, clear action, like chin up, look left, then turn.
- The robot performs the move in a fraction of a second.
- If the publicist allows, a reset happens for another take.
That is it. There is no luxury for long coaching. There is no room for improvising big stunts. Stars at this level are juggling interviews, photos, and live shows. The Glambot slot is one of many stops. When you get the shot, you move.

Etiquette, Pressure, and the Red Carpet Reality
Red carpet etiquette is polite, brisk, and controlled. Publicists run the schedule. Security keeps lanes clear. Producers are counting down to live hits. If a star is quiet between takes, that is focus. If a star breaks off quickly, that is timing. Crew members understand this rhythm. The best talent does too.
Walliser has worked with everyone from rising names to icons. His read on Lopez in this moment is consistent. She showed up. She took direction. She delivered a clean, glamorous take. Then she moved on to the next responsibility with seconds to spare. That is professionalism, not attitude.
Two second clips flatten nuance. They turn a whole workflow into a single look. It is easy to project tone onto silence. It is harder to see the signals that only crews and handlers watch for.
A short clip is not a character study. It is a fragment, trimmed by someone else’s timeline.
Fans, Fashion, and Why This Matters
Fans care because Glambot shots feel iconic. These clips frame the dress, the tux, the hair, and the moment. They end up as reaction loops that live far beyond the carpet. When a cut without context lands, it can rewrite a story in an instant. That shapes how we talk about stars, and how stars feel about doing the bit.
This is also about the craft. The Glambot has changed red carpet language. Slow motion hair flips and shoulder turns are now part of awards night grammar. Walliser helped build that grammar. He asks viewers to remember the people behind it. There is a camera operator. There is a director. There is a star working on a strict clock. The best results happen when everyone trusts the process.
Lopez delivered that trust. Walliser got the shot. The rest is noise.
The Bottom Line
I watched the full exchange and heard Walliser’s breakdown. There was no drama. Just hustle, precision, and a star doing the job. This story is a reminder to give grace to the people who make these moments. The Glambot looks like magic, but it runs on planning and pace. Next carpet, we will keep rolling, and we will keep showing you how the glamour really gets made. ✨
